Product details
Overview
TMPG06-22AHE3_A/C from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for robust overvoltage protection in automotive and industrial power rails. It features a 20.9–23.1 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 18.8 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 13.1 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and clamps to ≤30.6 V at rated surge, enabling reliable protection of MOSFETs and sensor signal lines against inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-22AHE3_A/C datasheet, TMPG06-22AHE3_A/C pinout, TMPG06-22AHE3_A/C application, or TMPG06-22AHE3_A/C equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 185 °C max junction temperature, low 0.092 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient, and MPG06 package compatibility with high-reliability automotive PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device in parallel with protected circuitry, activating when reverse voltage exceeds its breakdown threshold. Its low incremental resistance and fast response time ensure minimal overshoot during transient events such as load dump or ISO 7637-2 pulses.
The device is rated for repetitive 10/1000 µs surges at 0.01 % duty cycle and supports single-pulse IFSM up to 40 A (8.3 ms half-sine). Its thermal design accommodates operation up to TJ = 185 °C, with power derating above 25 °C per Figure 2 in the datasheet.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 20.9 V / 23.1 V - defines precise clamping activation range under 1 mA test current |
| VWM | 18.8 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage rises significantly |
| IPPM (10/1000 µs) | 13.1 A - peak surge current it safely clamps without failure at rated waveform |
| VC @ IPPM | ≤30.6 V - clamped voltage seen by protected IC/MOSFET during full-rated surge |
| PPPM | 400 W - transient energy absorption capacity under standardized pulse conditions |
| TJ max | +185 °C - enables use in under-hood automotive environments without thermal derating penalties |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ22A | Same VWM (18.8 V), but lower PPPM (400 W same), higher VC (35.5 V), SMA package (smaller footprint, lower thermal mass) | Less suitable for sustained high-temperature environments due to lower TJ max (150 °C vs. 185 °C) | Select when board space is constrained and ambient temperature remains <105 °C |
| 1.5KE22A | Higher PPPM (1500 W), larger DO-201 package, same VBR range, but not AEC-Q101 qualified | Not approved for automotive use; requires additional qualification effort for safety-critical systems | Select only for non-automotive industrial applications requiring higher single-pulse energy handling |
Compared with SMAJ22A and 1.5KE22A, TMPG06-22AHE3_A/C delivers superior high-temperature stability (185 °C TJ max), automotive-grade reliability (AEC-Q101), and optimized clamping performance (30.6 V VC)-making it the preferred choice for under-hood and mission-critical embedded protection where thermal margin and qualification compliance are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance for TMPG06-22AHE3_A/C?
The TMPG06-22AHE3_A/C has a specified breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 20.9 V to 23.1 V at 1.0 mA test current, representing a ±5 % tolerance around the nominal 22 V rating. This tight tolerance ensures consistent clamping behavior across production lots and supports precise overvoltage margin design in safety-critical circuits.
Is TMPG06-22AHE3_A/C suitable for 24 V automotive systems?
Yes, TMPG06-22AHE3_A/C is explicitly designed for 24 V nominal automotive systems. Its 18.8 V stand-off voltage (VWM) provides adequate margin above normal operating voltage, while its 30.6 V clamping voltage (VC) stays well below the 36 V absolute maximum rating of most 24 V-rated MCUs and drivers-ensuring effective protection during load dump and ISO 7637-2 transients.
Does TMPG06-22AHE3_A/C meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, TMPG06-22AHE3_A/C is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed in the Vishay datasheet (Document Number: 88404, Revision: 17-Sep-2021). This qualification covers stress tests including HTGB, AC/DC life test, temperature cycling, and mechanical shock-validating its suitability for automotive powertrain, chassis, and body electronics applications.
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for TMPG06-22AHE3_A/C?
The maximum junction temperature (TJ) for TMPG06-22AHE3_A/C is +185 °C, significantly higher than standard TVS diodes (typically 150 °C). This allows reliable operation in high-ambient environments such as engine compartments, power inverters, and enclosed industrial enclosures without requiring additional thermal derating.
How does the clamping voltage of TMPG06-22AHE3_A/C compare to similar 22 V TVS diodes?
TMPG06-22AHE3_A/C clamps to ≤30.6 V at its rated 13.1 A peak pulse current (10/1000 µs), yielding a clamping ratio (VC/VBR) of ~1.33. This is tighter than many alternatives-for example, SMAJ22A clamps to 35.5 V (ratio ~1.51)-giving TMPG06-22AHE3_A/C superior protection margin for voltage-sensitive downstream components.
